That year Huayu

In 9 days, it earned 2.148 billion; this box office result is gorgeous and dazzling.

Even Wang Jingdu posted a congratulatory message on Weibo at around 11 noon: "Congratulations to director Stephen Chow's "Mermaid" for breaking the 2 billion mark!"

As soon as this Weibo post was posted, it quickly topped the list of hot searches on Weibo and the entertainment headlines of major portal websites.

Netizens and posts praising Wang Jing's sincere attitude and accusing him of taking advantage of the publicity to hype the situation emerged in an endless stream; the Internet soon became a quarrel and a mess.

As a result, the grievances and resentments between Zhou Xingchi and those people in the Hong Kong circle over the years have been brought out again.

After all, there are countless big names there who have accused and belittled Zhou Xingchi's poor character countless times; at the same time, there are also many big names who have stood up for Zhou Xingchi's character and talent, saying bluntly that he is just not good at sociability!

However, in the eyes of many people in the industry, Wang Jing’s Weibo post, which did not shy away from Xiang Jia, was indeed more of a sincere congratulation;

Although he has bluntly stated many times in public that Zhou Xingchi has big problems with his character and conduct, he always praises his talent and strength without hesitation;

Today, there are mostly praises.

This is because the box office sales of his "Macau 3" and Cheng Baorui's "Three Fighters" are less than half of "Mermaid" at this time, which are 877 million and 866 million respectively.

Lin Nan was not in a hurry to leave the light, and even had lunch with Lao Wang.

Talking about the movie market, "Murder in Time" jointly produced by Wanda and Yinghuang was a complete hit. It was really a three-day trip to the theater;

9.32 million on the first day, 1.4 million on the second day, and 160,000 on the third day!

How can Yang Ying be able to support the box office? Isn't this just a joke and wasting money?

As for Zhang Ziyi's "Running for Love", the same is true. With 36 million, 4.04 million, and 1.01 million, you can only live for two more days at most, and you can still survive.

"About the end of next month, Bao Qiang's film "Havoc in Tianzhu" will be ready to start shooting; the casting has been completed, and most of them are people he contacted himself."

Lin Nan and Wang Changtian walked back to the light. He planned to sit for a while and go back later.

"Well, he's methodical. He's a person who really wants to cross over and become a director."

Lin Nan affirmed, and the next second, he and Wang Changtian saw Wu Gan and Xie Nan at the elevator entrance.

"Hey, you two just came back from lunch?" Wu Dan greeted with a smile.

"You should be considered the non-Languang artist in the circle who comes to Guangming most frequently, right?" Lin Nan also joked while nodding.

"No problem, my wife is here."

A playful joke immediately made everyone present laugh, including the employees passing by. Xie Nan was also smiling and gave Wu Gan a rollicking look, which was a sign of harmony between husband and wife.

"During the Spring Festival, I took people abroad and visited many places..." The four of them entered the elevator and Wu Gan's tone became more serious and started talking about business.

""Wolf Warrior 2"?"

Lin Nan and Wang Changtian asked subconsciously, almost in unison.

"Yes, Director Lin and Director Wang, the script of "Wolf Warrior 2" will be polished in at most half a month."

Having said this, Wu Gan paused and looked at Lin Nan and Wang Changtian with a more serious expression:

"I plan to start casting the project while submitting the script for review. The actors must follow me abroad for at least one or two months to train, and then the filming will officially start. I have contacted the relevant departments for support."

"So in the next one or two months, the investment will be in place, right?" Lin Nan understood the meaning and joked.

Sure enough, Wu Gan smiled embarrassedly but cheekily:

"There's no rush, no rush, the budget won't come out in two days. Let's talk about it then, haha..."

…

Nortel is a little embarrassed. I don't know who broke the news about the last few preliminary auditions of the performance department the day before yesterday.

Guan Xiaotong, who debuted as a child actor, was stopped after reciting only a short paragraph because he made repeated mistakes and was too poor when performing poetry recitation. Many candidates in the same group confirmed this.

Logically speaking, this should be brushed off directly; but everyone in the industry or on the Internet understands that Nortel will definitely protect this child star.

As a result, netizens with a "rebellious" spirit on the Internet began to get angry:

They came to the Nortel Performing Arts Academy one after another, waiting to see the "special care" in the future, just like how Zhou Dongyu's college entrance examination results were used to determine the admission score!

Lin Nan returned to the company and couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. How do you say this? The result was actually doomed from the beginning.

Schools will recruit child stars like this with good looks and high national standards with their eyes closed.

No matter how bad reviews are given at the art exam site, it is just a formality, for the majority of candidates and the media to see.

After all, the debut of a child star means that this student's starting point is naturally much higher than that of all other amateur candidates!

…

"It's impossible to visit the class. If I have this time, why don't I sleep at home..."

In the afternoon, as soon as Lin Nan entered the house, she heard Liu Yifei's crisp and soft laughter.

She was wearing light pink furry home clothes and printed cotton socks on her feet. She was curled up on the sofa and playing a video.

Shu Chang's phone must have just been turned off and he was taking off his makeup.

"How have you been shooting these two days?" Lin Nan squeezed Liu Yifei, leaned forward and asked.

"It's good. It feels like I'm back to filming "Magic Phone 2" a few years ago. But today Brother Jiao and his daughter came to visit the class. It seems that she is another girl who wants to enter the film and television industry."

Speaking of gossip, Shu Chang immediately became very energetic. He chatted with Lin Nan and Liu Yifei for a long time, and finally summed up:

"... He is not from a serious academic background, nor is he a child star. Compared with his father, he looks too ordinary and has not been inherited at all."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei smiled and lay on Lin Nan's shoulder, "With you, are you as ordinary as you say? Be careful when you say bad things to others..."

"I didn't lie intentionally. I'm just ordinary. I can't compare to the few current students from Nortel and China Drama in the crew. Besides, I'm in my room, who can listen?"

Having said this, Shu Chang lowered his voice mysteriously:

"I heard that Brother Jiao's family is a bit complicated? And I think his daughter seems to be a little deliberately close to her father in front of her, as if it's utilitarian? Tsk, maybe I feel wrong..."

"Don't worry about other people's stuff, just play your part."

"Stop gossiping."

Looking at Shu Chang whose tone gradually became lower, Liu Yifei quickly changed the topic;

Unlike her, Shu Chang was even worse. When he was five months old, his parents divorced. During his childhood, he only had his mother. When he was 10 years old, even his mother was gone...

"Oh, I won't gossip anymore."

…………

The next morning, it was around eight o'clock.

Wanda issued a very formal "announcement letter to the industry";

For Lin Nan, Wang Changtian, Yue Jun and other very few people in the circle, they just felt a little mixed and solemn, after all, they already knew it the day before;

But for the entire mainland film industry, this is undoubtedly a blockbuster, blowing up the entire film industry and shocking all film and television companies in the entire industry!

"Wanda reports to the film and television industry:

The director of the group, Ye Ning, the vice president in charge of the group's three companies, including theaters, film industry, and distribution, submitted his resignation to the group on the 15th of this month due to personal reasons, effective immediately. From today on, Mr. Ye Ning is no longer a senior executive and employee of the group. We hope that all companies, partners and partners in the industry will be aware of this;

I would also like to thank Ye Ning for his long-term contribution to the group, and hope that he can achieve more brilliant results in his future work and career. In addition, I hope both parties will abide by the agreement and stay well..."

Inform the content of the incident, thank Ye Ning for his contribution, and tactfully warn him to abide by the non-competition agreement...

All the film and television companies and capital in the industry can extract several key points of Wanda's announcement at a glance.

No one believed that Ye Ning would leave the film and television industry. He had been deeply involved in this industry for more than ten years. Now that the industry was already extremely prosperous, how could he leave? Stupid?

Ninety-nine percent of the film and television capital is vaguely guessing that someone is lifting the tiger's beard! If you watch some of them later, they will definitely be exciting.

The tickets for Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and their assistants have been booked; the flight time is early 9:30 am the day after tomorrow, and when they arrive in Los Angeles, it will be around 6 or 7 am.

In the morning, before the two of them could go out to go to the company, several phone calls came in;

Everyone is asking about Wanda and Ye Ning, who makes him a senior partner of Wanda Pictures.

After perfunctorily dismissing Ren Zhonglun and Han Sanping, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei got into their cars.

Throughout the morning, the film and television capital in the entire industry was paying attention to the affairs of Wanda and Ye Ning, the top manager;

For actors and artists, this matter is not of interest to them; because everyone is not of the same class at all, there are only a few actors and artists who have been promoted to capital, and they may gossip about it.

However, in the afternoon, another piece of "horrifying" news spread among a small circle in the industry, and it even only appeared briefly on Weibo before disappearing.

"What did you say?"

Lin Nan sat behind the desk and put down the chopsticks in his hands in shock.

This is no longer a matter of whether Ye Ning will change jobs alone, this is about digging Wanda's roots. We must know that Wanda’s biggest foundation in the film and even the film and television industry lies in theater chains!

“It has been spread that until 12 noon, more than 20 theater managers of Wanda Cinema Line have submitted their resignations this morning, all of whom have been working for more than five to eight years;

The specific number is unknown and is probably increasing. Wanda has not kept the news secret... We just spent money on public relations... I guess Director Wang will have to rush back from abroad immediately..."

Yue Jun said with a scared look on his face, but there was still a faint excitement on his face.

If Ye Ning resigned alone, the best anyone could guess was who was poached, or which company he switched jobs to;

But now that so many key members of the theater chain have left at the same time, all fools know that the nature of the matter is different, and something big has happened! Someone has taken advantage of the largest theater in the country!

Lin Nan's expression was a little serious and he didn't speak, which might alarm the whole bureau.

At this moment, the mobile phone next to the package suddenly vibrated, and the two words on the screen were extremely conspicuous and eye-catching.

"Ye Ning?!"

Yue Jun opened his mouth in shock and looked.

Lin Nan had already answered the phone: "Mr. Ye?"
